New School Locator Tool Available at http://locator.ddsbschools.ca/

As of April 1, 2011 the Durham District School Board website will offer a new tool to make finding designated school locations easier. The tool is called the School Locator and it will provide online users with the ability to search for the school(s) designated to a specific municipal address.

This feature provides users with the elementary and secondary regular track as well as French Immersion schools to which an indicated address is designated. The user can access school information, boundary maps, information and news.

If the school(s) or program information is not provided from the search request, users can always access assistance or additional information by contacting the DDSB's Planning Department at 905-666-6421 or 1-800-339-6913 ext. 6421 during regular business hours. Additionally, contact information for Durham Student Transportation Department is available to users of the site.

Accessibility Information - For specific accessibility inquiries related to your DDSB community school, please contact the school's principal.
